To all whom it may concern:

Be it known that l, ARTHUR KENNY, of New York city, in the county of NewYork and State of New York, have invented a certain new and usefulImprovement in Button- Gaiters; and I do hereby declare the following tobe a full, clear, and exact description of the invention, such as willenable others skilled in the art to which it pertains to make and useit. reference being bad to the accompanying drawings, which form part ofthis specification, in \\hi0l'z Figure l is a perspective view of myimprovement. Fig. 2 represents the pattern.

This invention has relation to an improvement in button-gaiters; andconsists in'a certain improvement in the cutting and manufacture of thesame, whereby a great saving of material and labor is effected, and ashoe of unusually neat and attractive appearance, smooth and comfortablefit, is produced.

According to this improvement the outside quarter, vamp, button-flap,and foxing of inside quarter are all cut in one and the same piece, andthe inside quarter cut in aseparate piece. In the gaiter the twoquarters are stitched together at the heel. The inside quarter is alsostitched to its foxing and to the button-piece, while to the outsidequarter is stitched the piece to which the buttons are attached. Thus,it will be seen, the outer side of the gaiter exposes no seam whatever,the necessary side seam being across the inside, where it is concealedwhen the gaiter is worn.

Referring to the drawings, A, Fig. 1, represents the vamp; B, thebutton-piece; C, the button-flap; D, the inside quarter, and E theoutside quarter. 7

In Fig. 2, represents the pattern cut to form the'outside quarter, vamp,button-flap, and foxing of inside quarter. B is the pattern of insidequarter, and G the pattern of button-piece.
